One of the special events going on that day was a "re-enacted" base ball game between two vintage base ball clubs.  One from NY and the other from Akron, OH.  These guys are very similar to Civil War re-enactors.  They played with official pre-1864 rules.  No gloves, a softer ball, and underhanded pitching were to obvious differences.  Another interesting one was catching the ball on one hop was an out (but runners could still advance without a tag up).
